Chapter 2166: Untitled
Feng Wu laughed. “Didn’t you just say that she’s a lot more capable than you? She should still have enough time to run away after killing you.”
Jun Wuxia said, “She’s not a lot more capable than me! She’s just slightly better.”
“Are you sure?”
Jun Wuxia said, “I’ll take responsibility for everything I say! My brother can be my witness!”
Feng Wu said, “Bring Jun Linshen here!”
Gao glanced at Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu nodded, and Gao left in a hurry.
Jun Linshen had been locked up after he made a fool of himself in front of the “crown prince.”
The real Jun Linyuan glanced at Feng Wu and looked pleased.
He didn’t expect the girl to be so bold.
She had been so intimidating when she questioned Jun Wuxia and had successfully carried Empress Dugu and Emperor Wu away with her logic.
Not everyone could do that.
“She knows what she’s doing,” Jun Linyuan thought.
Feng Wu had no idea what Jun Linyuan was thinking. All she wanted to do was convince everyone that Jun Wuxia was a liar. That way, no one would believe anything she said.
She had been quite successful so far. After all the questioning, Jun Wuxia had pretty much lost her credibility.
Jun Linshen soon arrived.
“Jun Linyuan’s” presence both infuriated and intimidated him.
Feng Wu asked him, “Did you see with your own eyes Feng Wu kill Zuo Qingyu in the tombs?”
On any other day, Jun Linshen would have said yes, but what happened the day before had taught him a lesson. He shook his head and said, “No, I didn’t.”
Feng Wu said, “Tell us what you saw.”
Jun Linshen felt like a prisoner and wanted to retort, but when he saw the eager look in everyone’s eyes, he knew he couldn’t stall.
He felt speechless.
He was also the emperor’s son, but why was he being questioned by Jun Linyuan? Why did people think that was the natural way of things?
Although he didn’t like it, there was nothing he could do. He had to answer the question if he still wanted to be a prince.
In order not to enrage Jun Linyuan, Jun Linshen had to fight back his frustration, and he described what he had seen.
He concluded, “My sister was unconscious when Zuo Qingxian and I arrived, and the culprit was gone. We didn’t see who it was.”
Jun Wuxia shouted, “It was Feng Wu! I saw it!”
Jun Linshen gave it some thought, then shook his head. “Not necessarily.”
Jun Wuxia stared at him. “Why won’t you take my side?”
Jun Linshen wanted to, but he couldn’t afford to make any more mistakes. Otherwise, he wouldn’t just be imprisoned; he might actually be expelled from the royal family.
This time, Empress Dugu supported Jun Linshen.
After all, he was a son, while Jun Wuxia was only a daughter.
“Wuxia, be reasonable.” Empress Dugu gave Jun Wuxia a stern look.
Jun Wuxia bit her lower lip and was speechless.
She felt that the world had turned upside down.
